Hon. Secretary of State, Hartford, Conn. 

Dear 6'/>.— The Articles of Association of The Portland Burying 
Ground Association are on file in your office as appears from the 
Ctf. thereto attached of which enclosed is a copy. They are also 
recorded upon the Portland Town Records. 

I understand that this makes it a legal corporation. If not will 
you kindly inform me what further action is necessary to give full 
corporate powers to sue, and be sued, give deeds of burial lots, etc. 

Yours truly, 

F. GiLDERSLEEVE.

F. GiLDERSLEEVE, Esq. 

Dear Sir: — I do not understand that anything more is required to 
make The Portland Burying Ground Association a corporation under 
Connecticut law. 

I assume that a certified copy of your original certificate of or- 
ganization would be received in court as evidence of the corporate 
existence of the Association. 

Yours truly, 

W. C. Mo WRY, Secy.

The Managers have had printed for sending out the 
following circular : 

"The attention of the managers has often been called to the 
condition of lots and graves which were wholly neglected. In many 
cases these lots and graves belong to families once prominent in our 
town who have left no kin to care for them. 

A.s the income from the general fund can be used to good ad- 
vantage in beautifying and caring for the whole cemetery, the 
surest way to provide against an individual lot or grave being neg- 
lected and to have it kept as neat and beautiful as possible for all 
time, is to give or leave a sum of money to the Association as a per- 
manent fund on the condition that the income, only, be used by 
the Association to keep such lot or grave, and the monuments and 
grave marks thereon, in good condition. 

Families often become extinct, move away, have so many cares 
or other good reasons that it is impossible to give the needed at- 
tention to these matters. But an Association of this kind never 
dies or becomes extinct, and money set apart or left in this way 
insures permanent care of a lot and graves. 

There are so many advantages in the money being given in 
one's life time, in addition to the satisfaction of seeing the work 
done, that it is needless to call attention to them. 

The income from One Hundred Dollars safely invested would 
be sufficient to take good care of the lawn of one lot. To include 
the cleaning and care of monuments and grave marks would retjuire 
income from a larger sum. A less sum would yield enough to care 
for a single grave. 

Any officer of the Association will be glad to give any in- 
formation on this subject. 

Inclosed is a form of gift or bequest." 

FORM OF GIFT OR BEQUEST. 

I hereby give and bequeath to The Portland Burying Ground 

Association, of Portland, Connecticut, Dollars 

to be and remain a permanent fund, the income only therefrom to 
be used by said Association to keep Lot Xo Section No

or the graves of in the cemetery of said 

Association in good condition and to do whatever is necessary to 
keep clean, repair, preserve and renew any tomb, monument or grave 
mark thereon. 

[If this special fund is set apart during lifetime erase the words "and bequeath," if 
a bequest in a will, leave it as it is.] 

Whenever any lot or gTave is neglected the Mana- 
gers usually call the owner's attention to it by sending 
the following circular : 

"Your lot in the cemetery needs putting in better condition. 

Please give it your early attention. 

It is desirable that our cemetery should be made and kept as 
beautiful as possible, and we ask you to aid us by promptly attend- 
ing to the above request." 



AND ITS CEMETERY. 



HISTORY OF THE CEMETERY, 



The land now occupied by and under the control of The Portland 
Burying Ground Association and enclosed within the present stone 
wall was obtained in the following manner. The first purchase was 
one and one-half acres more or less adjoining the old burying ground 
on the South, being the north side of the Cheney lot, so called. This 
purchase was from Mrs. Anna Strickland and her warranty deed is 
dated February 9th, A. D. 1846. It is to The Portland Burying 
Ground Association and the consideration was one hundred and 
fifty dollars. This deed was recorded March 16, 1846, in the Port- 
land Land Records, in Volume i, page 301. The land was laid out 
in lots with provision for single graves. 

The next and largest addition of land to the cemetery was by 
gift from Mr. Sylvester Gildersleeve. It contains five acres and is 
the present southerly part. Mr. Gildersleeve gave, in i860, six hun- 
dred dollars for its purchase of the Strickland sisters. The warranty 
deed is dated October 29, A. D. 1S61, and is from the four sisters 
Asenath, Martha, Amy and Vienna Strickland, and is made direct to 
The Portland Burying Ground Association. It was recorded Oc- 
tober 29, 1861, in the Portland Land Records in A^olumey, page 427. 

This land is laid out in sections of four lots each as shown 
on the map of both the Strickland purchase and the Gildersleeve 
gift, made by Mr. Joseph C Gladwin, October 1, A. D. 1894. 

The older and northerly part of the cemetery was conveyed by 
warranty deed dated January 24, A. D. 1767, "in the 7th year of 
the reign of our Sovereign Lord George the Third of Great Britain, 
etc. King" by William Bartlit, of Middletown, in the county of Hart- 
ford and Colony of Connecticut in New England to Capt. Jeremiah 
Goodrich, Capt. David Sage and David Robinson, a committee for 
the third Society in said Middletown. The consideration was five 
pounds and five shillings lawful money. The deed specifies that it 
was sold to the "committee as aforesaid for the use of the third 
Society in sd Middletown for a publick burying place for said So- 
ciety wherein to bury their dead, to the said committee for the 



1 



22 THE PORTLAND BURYING GROUND ASSOCIATION 

publick use as aforesaid, and to their successors in said office, their 
heirs and assigns forever, one certain piece of land lying on the East 
side of Connecticut river in said Middletown containingone acre and 
a half of land lying at a place commonly called the Plains and being 
part of that land which was lately called Indian land and is butted 
on highway both northerly and easterly and on my own other lands 
both westerly and southerly, which acre and one-half of land shall be 
laid out beginning at the northeast corner of the land which I lately 
bought at the Vandue of the Indian land and to extend westward by 
the highway about eleven rods and from thence about southward 
sixteen rods and from thence easterly to run such a point as may 
measure one acre and a half of land and by butting as aforesaid. " 

This deed was acknowledged before Joseph White, Justice of 
the Peace, and was witnessed by Joseph White and Eben'r White, 
and is recorded in Chatham Land Records, Volume i, page 79, by 
Jonathan Penfield, Registrar, January ye 2d, 1769. 

In 1862 The First Ecclesiastical Society in Portland, by Horace 
B. Wilcox, Franklin Payne and G. C. H. Gilbert, their committee 
thereunto duly authorized, for the consideration of one dollar and 
other good causes and considerations, devised and leased to The 
Portland Burying Ground Association their interest in the burying 
ground last mentioned situated near and adjoining ground of the 
said association, containing two acres more or less. 

This lease was dated April 7th, A. D. 1862, and recorded April 
8, 1862, in Volume 6, page 220, of Portland Land Records. 

These three documents conveyed all the land now enclosed by 
the present stone wall and is all under the control and care of The 
Portland Burying Ground Association. 

From the dates cut on some of the grave stones it would seem 
that there had been several interments on the Bartlit land before 
he deeded it to the Third Society's committee in 1767. Many if not 
all of the stones bearing much earlier dates were removed here with 
the remains of the persons from the burying ground which was 
formerly between the lands of the Middlesex Quarry Company, and 
Brainerd Quarry Company. 

Amongthe earliest interments were Nathaniel Whiteand his wife 
Mary. She died first, on Jan. 31, 1767, and his death followed eleven 
days later on February nth of the same year.

AND ITS CEMETERY. 27, 

Richard (Goodrich, who died March nth, A. D. 1767. 

Rev. Moses Bartlit, died Dec. 27, 1766, aged 58, for 34 years 
pastor in this place. 

Rev. Cyprian Strong, D. D., died Nov. 17, 181 1, in the 68th 
year of his age, for 44 years minister here. 

Rev. Hervey Talcott, died Dec. 19, 1865, aged 75 years, in the 
50th year of his ministry here. 

The length of continuous service in the ministry of the First 
Congregational Church in this place by these three pastors, was 
upwards of one-hundred twenty-eight years and they all rest in this 
cemetery. Such length of ministerial service in one church is rare 
in these days 

The cemetery is most favorably situated. The views from the 
southern and highest portion are extended and fine, embracing the 
Connecticut River and its green meadows with the surrounding hills 
which bound a beautiful section of country. 

The soil being of a dry sandy nature is especially suitable for 
the purpose. Every effort has recently been made to improve and 
beautify the grounds. Many of the gravestones in the older por- 
tion have been righted and cleaned and water introduced through 
pipes from a well on neighboring land to a brownstone fountain in 
the newer part. 

While the larger cities have given much attention to and ex- 
pended large sums of money upon their cemeteries, making many 
of those sacred places beautiful and attractive, there is no reason 
why we should not also use the advantages nature has given us to 
make our rural city of the dead equally beautiful. There is plenty 
of evidence upon all sides that greater interest is being taken in 
these matters than formerly. Cemeteries are receiving more at- 
tention and the monuments and grave marks are kept cleaner and 
in better condition. 

Thousands of dollars have been and will continue as time goes 
on to be expended upon monuments and lots in our cemetery and 
they should not be neglected. 

There is no better indication of good taste and high Christian 
civilization than solemn respect for the memory of the honored dead 
and that can not be better shown than by keeping attractive and 
beautiful the lots and graves in the cemetery where they sleep. 



24 THE PORTLAND BURYING GROUND ASSOCIATION 



ORGANIZATION AND HISTORY OF THE DOINGS OF 
THE OFFICERS. 

The first meeting of the Association was held as provided in the 
Articles of Association on Monday, the 15th day of December, A. 
D. 1845, at the Methodist Meeting House (on Rose Hill) and 
officers were chosen. 

At an adjourned meeting held on the next Monday evening, De- 
cember 22, A. D. 1845, at the same place the original By-laws 
were adopted. At the second annual meeting held Monday, January 
9, A. D. 1846, it was voted to purchase one and a half acres of 
land. The committee appointed to report a plan consisted- of 
Ebenezer B. White, Asher N. Rowley and David Cornwall. This 
committee reported to the adjourned meeting held January 12, A. 
D., 1846, and it was voted to "purchase of Mrs. Anna Strickland 
land adjoining the old burying ground sufficient to lay out a burying 
ground on the plan reported." This is the land mentioned in the 
history of the cemetery. All persons interested were invited "to 
meet with teams and implements for the purpose of grading the 
ground without charge to the association, such invitation to be 
given in the several schools or in such other way as the managers 
think proper." 

At the same meeting a plan was voted for the selection and 
assigning of lots after the ground had been graded and fenced, 
suitable provision was made "for a place of burial of the remains of 
any stranger or poor person not otherwise provided for," and the 
clerk was to record the name and age (if known) of such person and 
the place of their burial." It was at this meeting that a stone wall 
was decided upon as the most permanent and in the end least ex- 
pensive manner of enclosing the grounds. 

I'he managers reported to the annual meeting held January i, A. 
D. 1849, the "laying out of the grounds into new lots according to 
the plan of single lots" and the records show to whom lots were as- 
signed and certificates given under the plan adopted. 

At the annual meeting held at the house of S. Stocking, on 



AND ITS CEMETERY. 25 

fanuary 2, 1854, the By-laws were by vote altered and amended 
to provide for the officers holding over till others were elected, in 
case annual meetings were not regularly held. 

The next annual meeting for election of officers etc., was 
held at the store of S. Gildersleeve & Son, January 6th, A. D. i860, 
and adjourned to the Center Church on Monday the 13th January, 
and again adjourned to January 27th, and again to February 10th, 
all in i860. At this meeting the following votes were passeti. 

"Voted, That this meeting manifest a sense of esteem and grati- 
tude to Mr. Sylvester Gildersleeve for his very liberal donation of 
$600 to pay for the addition of five acres of land to their burying 
ground and their wishes that he may long live to enjoy the pleasure 
inseparable from acts of munificence conferring equal benefits on 
the present and future generations." 

And at this meeting it was voted that this land be enclosed 
with the "present" yard by a stone wall and graded and laid out in 
sections of four family lots each, the manner of numbering of the 
sections and lots, the disposal and giving deeds, the prices of lots 
and single burial places, the settlement of accounts of all persons 
contributing to the improvement of the grounds, were all discussed 
and voted upon. 

At the annual meeting held on January 5th, 1S69, David Corn- 
wall, Esq., who had been the Association's President since the or- 
ganization in 1846, tendered his resignation, and Mr. Seth J. Davis 
was elected President. 

At an adjourned meeting held at the Center Church, Monday, 
January 25th, 1869, a tax of five dollars on each lot was voted, for 
fencing and improving the grounds. 

With the money realized from this tax the stone wall was com- 
pleted and the grounds very much improved. It was also voted to 
arrange for lots with members who had contributed labor, to de- 
posit in Savings Banks the money received from sale of lots, and to 
restrict interments in the old ground without written consent of 
one or more of the board of managers. 

At a meeting held January 14, 1873, it was voted that the man- 
agers be instructed to arrange with a collector for the collection of 
the tax of five dollars on each lot. 



26 THE PORTLAND BURYING GROUND ASSOCIATION 

At an annual meeting held at the store of S. Gildersleeve & 
Sons, on Thursday, October 19, A. D. 1893, it was 

Voted, That the cemetery be surveyed at as early a day as 
possible and the sections marked by boundstones. 

Voted, That Hobart Davis, Henry Kilby, John Strickland and 
Joseph C. Gladwin be a committee to procure such survey and 
boundstones and a plat of the cemetery. 

The Secretary and Treasurer was also authorized to procure 
suitable books for the correct keeping of the records and accounts 
of the Association. And a committee was appointed on amending 
the By-laws and Regulations. 

At the annual meeting held on Saturday, October 13, 1894, the 
present amended By-laws and Regulations were adopted and voted 
to be printed with such other matter as is of interest and worthy of 
being put in permanent form, the clerk to procure such printing. It 
was also 

Voted, That the clerk procure a seal and that it should contain 
the words "The Portland Burying Ground Association, Portland, 
Conn., 1845," and it shall be the corporate seal of the association. 

Voted, That the new form of deed of lots as read at this meet- 
ing be adopted. 

Other votes were passed about having printed notices to own- 
ers of lots to have them put in order, also to furnish all members who 
desire printed copies of the By-laws and Regulations. 

At the meeting held September 14, A. D. 1895, Mr. Joseph C. 
Gladwin reported that he had completed three maps of the cemetery, 
one of which is lodged with the President, one with the Secretary 
and one with the Superintendent. 

At the annual meeting held on Saturday, September 12, A. D. 
1896, Mr. Henry Kilby, the Superintendent, reported that he had 
successfully introduced water through pipes from a well on Mr. 
Alexander Hale's land into a brownstone fountain in the cemetery.

LIST OF NAMES OF PERSONS BURIED IN THE CEME-

THE PORTLAND BURYING GROUND ASSO- 
CIATION, OF PORTLAND, CONNECTI- 
CUT, ENDING WITH DECEM- 
BER 31. A. D., 1897. 



This list was obtained from inscriptions on monuments and 
gravestones, from records of the sextons, Seth Strickland and John 
Strickland.* and from information received from individuals and 
other available sources. Every effort has been made to have it 
correct and complete. 

The managers had the following notice advertised for six days 
in the Tribune and the Penny Press, daily newspapers published in 
Middletown, that all might have opportunity to give information 
and to correct errors: — 

-SPECIAL NOTICE. 

The Portland Buryinj)^ Ground Association are about to publish in a book, a list 

of the dead lying in the Center Cemetery, Portland. To make the list as complete 

as possible, all persons are requested to give the names of deceased friends 

and others, with date of, and age at death, whose graves in this cemetery are not 

marked by headstones or monuments, with inscriptions, the names to be forwarded at 

once to Henry Kilby, Superintendent, Gildersleeve, Ct. 

F. Gildersleeve, Clerk. 
Gildersleeve. Ct., Sept. 2, 1S97. 

After the list had been prepared and in manuscript the follow- 
ing notice was also published in the Middletotcn Tribune, and sub- 
stantially the same in the Penny Press: — 

CENTER CEMETERY. 

A LIST OF DEAD .\RRANGED TO BE I'RIN 1 ED. 

The managers of the Portland Burying Ground Association have had prepared a 
list of the names of the dead lying in the cemetery in Portland known as the Center 
Cemetery. This list is now at the Middlesex County Printery, about to be set in 



* If the other sextons kept records they could not be found. 



36 THE PORTLAND BURYING GROUND ASSOCIATION 

type and printed, and all persons are invited to call there and examine it for the pur- 
pose of giving additional information and correcting any errors. This list is to be 
published in the Cemetery Book and as it will be of interest to the public it is very 
desirable that the list be complete and correct before it is put into permanent printed 
form. 

While no pains have been spared to have this list correct and 
complete, there are, undoubtedly, remains of persons buried in this 
cemetery without grave marks or records of any kind. 

As the records of burials have been imperfectly kept, if kept at 
all, the managers have been unable to ascertain the names of such 
persons.

ERRATA. 

Page 37. Robert Akins died Oct. 27, 1795. Roard Akins was buried 
Oct. 27, 1795. The former was taken from grave stone; the latter from sex- 
ton's record of Seth Strickland. They may be one and the same person. 

Page 44. Alfred H. Conklin is spelled as the name is cut on grave stone. 
This may have been a mistake in the inscription, as this family always spelled 
the name "Concklin." 

Page 67. Dilly Shepard was Deliverance Leland Shepard, Dilly being 
the abbreviation as cut on the gravestone. 

In a few cases where the date of i/ea^/i could not be obtained from records 
or inscriptions, the date of burial has been taken from the records of sextons 
and put in the foregoing list under the heading of date of death. 



76 THE PORTLAND BURYING GROUND ASSOCIATION 



ADDENDA. 



There were eight (8) burials in 1S97, by John Stricl<land, Sex- 
ton, after the list on page 32 was printed. This makes the total 
number nineteen (19), for the year 1897. 

Since the History of the Cemetery was put in type, the First 
Ecclesiastical Society of Portland has given the Association a quit- 
claim deed of their interest in the older part of the cemetery. This 
is the portion that was sold for burial purposes by William Bartlit, 
in A. D. 1767, and leased to the Burying Ground Association by the 
Ecclesiastical Society in A. I). 1862. 

This deed is signed by Archibald C. Goodrich, Frederick W. 
Goodrich, and Ellery B. Taylor, the Society's Committee, duly au- 
thorized by a vote of the Society at its meeting held December 4, 
A. D. 1897. It is dated Jan. 3, A. D. 1898, and is recorded in the 
land records of the town of Portland, in Volume XVI., page 257. 
This deed completes the title of the Association to the entire 
cemetery. 

By an instrument in writing dated July 7, A. D. 1897, the heirs 
and representatives of the founders and builders of the church ed- 
ifice known as the Center Congregational Church granted to this 
Association the unlimited use of the church building and all its ap- 
purtenances, with the land, sheds and all other buildings thereon, 
for religious and funeral purposes. This grant is recorded in Vol. 
XVII., pages 397 and 398, of the Portland Land Records. 

At a fair and supper given by the ladies in the basement of this 
church, on the afternoon and evening of October 12, A. D. 1897, 
and by contributions, the sum of $205.95 was raised. This, with 
voluntary labor, was applied towards the expense of putting the 
church building and sheds in good condition, also for building a re- 
taining stone wall on the front and part of the west side of the 



AND ITS CEMETERY. 77 

church, with convenient steps, and the construction of a receiving 
vault in the basement. This provides the Association with a con- 
venient and complete mortuary chapel. 

By means of the permits now adopted by this Association a com- 
plete and permanent record is kept of all interments and disinter- 
ments in our cemetery, and the manner of giving deeds of lots is so 
devised that a detailed record of their ownership is secured. 

The managers for themselves and for all the many friends of 
the Association desire to express and put upon record their appreci- 
ation of the efificient and disinterested services of the Superintend- 
ent, Mr. Henry Kilby, and others in successfully accomplishing these 
recent improvements. Also to thank the ladies for their generous aid. 

The attention of all persons having friends interred in this 
cemetery is called to the importance of having inscribed grave 
marks at the graves. They not only mark the place where our 
friends rest but the inscription is a permanent record of their birth 
and death. 

While there may be good reasons why grave stones have not 
been placed in individual cases the number of unmarked graves in 
our cemetery is a cause of deep regret. That our dead may not 
appear to be forgotten the managers earnestly request that this 
matter receive careful consideration and attention.
